Solution Steps

Step 1: Germanium (Ge)

Germanium has 4 valence electrons (4s²4p²). The orbital diagram shows two electrons in the 4s orbital and two electrons in the 4p orbital, following Hund's rule (maximize spin). Two electrons are circled; any two can be chosen. For example, if we select the two electrons in the 4s orbital, the quantum numbers are n=4, l=0, mₗ=0, and mₛ=+1/2 for one electron and mₛ=-1/2 for the other.

Step 2: Nickel (Ni)

Nickel has 10 valence electrons (4s²3d⁸). The provided electron configuration is slightly incorrect, it has 3d⁸ 4s². The orbital diagram should show two electrons in 4s and eight in the 3d orbitals. The exact configuration of the 3d electrons requires more in-depth analysis based on specific cases and ligands. However, in general, two electrons are paired in one d orbital, and the remaining six electrons each occupy a separate d orbital with the same spin.

Step 3: Thallium (Tl)

Thallium has 3 valence electrons (6s²6p¹). The orbital diagram shows two electrons in the 6s orbital and one in the 6p orbital. The noble gas configuration shorthand is shown, and the valence electron configuration is highlighted. The circled electrons can be any two of the three; for the two electrons in the 6s orbital, the four quantum numbers are n=6, l=0, mₗ=0, with mₛ=+1/2 for one and mₛ=-1/2 for the other.

Final Answer:

The orbital diagrams and quantum numbers are given above for Ge, Ni, and Tl. Note that the given answer for Nickel has a minor mistake.

Happens and now the two neurons differ. The electrodes are now in the middle of the neurons, so you can clearly see differences in the speed of action potential propagation. How do the two neurons compare? The AP travels faster in the myelinated neuron. The myelinated neuron generates more action potentials. The shape of the action potential near the stimulation site is different. Check Answer 18 / 23
